Soul-Jazz/R&B/Funk. In a city renowned for it's country music scene, it takes a sharp group of musicians outside of the box to garner very much attention. Yet, a band like Nashville's the Coolin' System do it handily (and with a significant amount of style to spare). G.E.D. Soul Records is pleased to be the home for this Music City soul-jazz super group's debut full length.
The self titled album features choice interpretations of deep cuts from some of the genre's greatest heavy weights. Jack McDuff, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Eddie Harris and others get the "System" treatment on this soul-jazz tour de force recorded live in the studio in the spirit of a jazz recording. Heavy on grooves and solid interplay between musicians gives this record the feel of being transported to a smoky jazz club back in the day
"The Coolin' System are tight, rocking a groove that recalls the brighter, bouncier vibes of Chicago's late-'60s pop-jazz scene that allows the band's top-notch musicians to shine on their solos without ever distracting from the songs " -Nashville Scene 11/12/09
